Solar Storm Puts Beautiful Northern Lights on Display [VIDEO]

The solar storm that showered the Earth on Tuesday, Jan. 24, was one of the strongest such occurrences in recent years.

It was only a minor nuisance for people on Earth, but for some, it was a great chance to catch northern lights or aurora borealis, a natural light effect caused by the collision of solar particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere.

One of the most beautiful such videos comes from Helge Mortensen who captured the nature’s light show in Norway.
